NDIS Developmental Therapy

🔹Talk to children with respect.
Don’t yell at me😢. If I am having trouble understanding your words, I will never learn by yelling.
🔹Yelling affects:
📍the behaviour (through yelling the child learns that problems are better solved with violence and aggression.)
📍the mental health (yelling raises levels of anxiety, stress and depression in children.)
📍the physical health (a child growing up in an abusive or negative environment is more likely to develop chronic conditions in adulthood.)
📍the brain function (Screaming and yelling have proven to hinder the development of the prefrontal cortex, the centre of logic (correct judgement and decision making.)
🔹There are more subtle ways to use when we feel that our children don’t listen to us. Let’s break the cycle of excessive response, as parents and humans.
